Note: Louise Umphreveille was the daughter Edward Umphreville and a Cree woman (apparently of the family name Belly/ Belley). Louise afterwards married John Rowand Sr., who adopted her three children by Pierre Boishue dit Breland). By adoption and marriage, Pascal Breland became the brother-in-law of Henry McDermott, who in turn was the brother of Mary Sarah ‘Sally’ McDermott – wife of HBC Gov.

Alexander Breland (Métis, born 1802; died 1859) married [1170] Emilie Wells (Métis, born 1803/ 1810 to #5152 John Wells and Josephte Grant)

[1188-1189] Olivier Monette (Métis, born 1826/ 1827 to #3145 Michel Monette and Josephte Bruyer in the U.S.) married Josephte Millet/ Malette (Métis, born 1835 to Joseph Malette and an unidentified woman)

Note: Patrice Breland’s father was, by adoption and marriage, brother-in-law to Henry McDermott — the brother of Mary Sarah ‘Sally’ McDermott who was the wife of HBC Gov. William Mactavish at Upper Fort Garry. Patrice was in turn related by marriage to William Dease (the uncle of Patrice’s wife, Helen Dease), who was opposed to the installation of a provisional government at Red River.

Patrice Breland was a member of the Convention of Twenty-four in November of 1869, and by 26 February 1870 his allegiance was clearly to the Provisional Government. As early as 7 April 1870, as a captain in the Settlement Guard, he was appointed “Envoy to the Plains,” tasked with telling the winterers (including those in his father’s camp of Qu’Appelle buffalo hunters), that there was peace in the settlement and HBC trade business would be open as usual.

Patrice Breland was also appointed by the Provisional Government to the position of magistrate for the White Horse Plains court district (which extended “from where the Long Lake touches the public road to the Sturgeon Creek; on both sides of the [Assiniboine] river.” [See Laws of the Provisional Government of Assiniboia, this site.]

[1323-1324] Hon. Pierre Poitras (Métis, born 1810 to Andrew Poitras and an unidentified woman) married Marie Briere/ Bruyere (Métis, born 1818/ 1820 to Baptiste Briere and an unidentified woman)

Note: The boundary of St. François-Xavier west and White Horse Plain appears to have overlapped at Pierre Poitras’ residence, as Poitras was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Assiniboia as representative for the riding of Baie St. Paul and White Horse Plain. The overlap was apparently a limited sort of loop, as, much of St. François-Xavier Parish lay further to the west than Poitras’ lot. [See The People, Baie St. Paul and White Horse Plain, this site.]

I see two profiles here. When I enter them into my tree, the timelines are off.
Urbain and Norbert would be brothers. Both married Marie Desmarais?

SFX parish district: (910-911)Urbain Delorme (Métis, born 1834 to Urbain Delorme and an unidentified woman) married Marie Desmarais (Métis, born 1838 to Joseph Desmarais and an unidentified woman) – (912-916) Eliza 11, Marie Rose 9, Francois 7, Madeleine 4, Urbain (Marie Desmarais married Urbain when she was 21 and died at age 35 in childbirth when Marie and Flora were born. I was wondering when she had time to marry Norbert?)

[981-982] Norbert Delorme (Métis, born 1836/ 1837 to #1117 Urbain Delorme and Madeleine Vivier) married Charlotte Gervais (Métis, born 1840 to #1942 Alexis Gervais and an unidentified woman) and Marie Desmarais (Métis, born 1838) (Doesn’t say who her parents were, but I don’t find another Marie Desmarais that fits the timeline.)

Many thanks — I suspect you caught an error in Sprague and Frye. Will adjust the list by question-marking the entry (she wouldn’t have had a child with Norbert prior to marrying Urbain by any chance?).

Ok, what I am finding so far, is there were two Marie Desmarais. The one that married Norbert Delorme died young, around 1852. They were both adolescence at the time. I don’t have all the details yet, but your records are right. Thank you -Yvonne
